Description: President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement to increase the self-generation without a licence threshold from 1MW to 100MW has been a long time coming for South Africa’s commercial and industrial sector.
While there are regulatory details to iron out, the announcement signals in theory that it will become easier for companies to enter into Power Purchase Agreements with private entities. Instead of a lengthy licencing process, a future applicant would only need to register their generation project with the National Electricity Regulator of South Africa (NERSA).
